WWE Raw on Netflix begins!
We see the arrival of the two main stars of the night: Roman Reigns and Penta, the latter on horseback.
Rey Mysterio is in charge of opening tonight's show. The masked wrestler (who still wears a neck brace after the attack suffered at the hands of Omos at Triplemania 34) is greeted with a great ovation. Rey Mysterio steps into the ring, where Adam Pearce is already present. Rey Mysterio welcomes us in Spanish to Monday Night Raw. Rey Mysterio recalls that this is the first time the red brand has held a show in Mexico in 15 years. Also, he is very proud to make his return as General Manager of AAA and as a Mexican. Rey Mysterio approaches Pearce, hoping he has prepared a historic night. And, speaking of history, the masked wrestler recalls the unforgettable tour that WWE has carried out this past week in South America. That said, he introduces a video to show the best moment of the tour: Stephanie Vaquer's coronation as the new Women's World Champion in her homeland of Chile. After the video, Rey Mysterio thanks Pearce, who has granted him the honor of introducing "The First".
Stephanie Vaquer makes her entrance!
The Chilean heads to the ring to a great ovation. Vaquer poses with the championship in the center of the ring. Stephanie shakes hands with Pearce before hugging Rey Mysterio. "Hello, hello, hello, hello.... Vaquer, Vaquer!" chant the fans. "Come on, my Mexico!" exclaims the Chilean. "I have regained my championship!," she adds as she raises the world title. "19 years ago I arrived in Mexico with a dream. I came to learn from the best in the world. From Mexican trainers. And if today I am what I am, it is thanks to Mexican wrestling, which I proudly represent everywhere. It was the joy of my life to regain my title in my home, Chile, but it is an honor to return to Mexico to say in my first language that I AM THE WORLD CHAMPION," she exclaims.
Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio interrupt the promo!
The fans greet both with boos. Liv congratulates Stephanie for being the biggest hypocrite in the world. Morgan blames Becky Lynch for her defeat in Chile. "That is the only reason you won, and you know it," she says. The members of The Judgment Day head to the ring. Liv stands in front of "The First" to make it clear that, with or without a title, she is still the best world champion of all time. That said, she addresses Rey Mysterio. "We have already accepted that you are the irresponsible father of Dominik, but you have hit rock bottom by teaming up with someone like this bitch," says Morgan. A furious Vaquer tries to confront Liv, but Pearce and Rey stop her.
Dominik calms his partner to speak. "All I see here is an irresponsible and a cheater!," Dom exclaims so that his voice can be heard over the intense booing he is receiving. "A bad father and a cheater!," he repeats, this time in Spanish. "This is how a true champion looks," he adds as he points to Morgan. "What do you know about champions?," Rey asks his son before reminding him that the previous night he lost the AAA Megachampionship. For this, he asks the production team to show a brief video on screen with the coronation of El Grande Americano. "Is this how you want to play?," Dominik asks before challenging his father and Vaquer to a mixed tag team match here and now. Pearce indicates that it will not be possible, as Rey does not have medical clearance. Dominik assures that his father is faking it, as he demonstrated last night by coming to the ring to cost him his Megachampionship. The discussion continues when suddenly...
El Grande Americano appears on the scene!
The fans welcome the new AAA Megachampion with a tremendous ovation. "Hello, hello, hello, hello.... Grande, Grande!" chant the fans as the masked wrestler heads into the ring. El Grande Americano enjoys the chants from the audience before taking a microphone. "What's up, my people!?," he exclaims. "Dominik, you know that your boss can't do it now, but man, here I am, and I CAN DO IT!." "Are you sure?," Pearce asks in Spanish. "Of course, man! Let's do it!," El Grande Americano replies. "Then, Mexico City, IT'S OFFICIAL!," the General Manager announces again in Spanish. The fans go wild.

Bayley addresses Lyra Valkyria in a video promo. "Lyra, at Madison Square Garden, you knocked me unconscious, covered in your own blood. But it wasn't enough. You had to go a little further to make sure I wouldn't come back. After some time away, I realized that what bothers me the most isn't that you turned your back on something that could have been truly special, but that you tried to use everything I believe in against me. You called me 'the women's locker room doormat.' As if everything I've done over the last 14 years, everything I've fought for and defended, meant nothing. I chose this path. I chose the road less traveled so that women like you would have the opportunity to make a difference in WWE. But I've realized that you're just like everyone else. You're selfish. And, in my experience, that's usually what prevents a person from achieving long-term success. But not this time, Lyra. Because I'm going to be the one standing in your way. I'm going to be the one to end your career before it even begins. This isn't the first time someone has used my heart and vulnerability against me. But it will be the last. Because I'm going to shatter everything you think you know. And, Lyra, I'm going to prove to you and the rest of the world why Bayley is the standard-bearer of women's wrestling."
